    (iv) Significance: This notification reflects a price increase for 
JSOW Missiles and support. There is an increase in MDE value of $39.9 
million due to the increased cost of JSOW and an additional increase of 
$10 million for JSOW support equipment.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale serves U.S. national, 
economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's 
continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and enhance its 
defensive capability. The proposed sale will help improve the security 
of the recipient and assist in maintaining
